Phd On Plasma-driven Co2 Upgrading
2 weken geleden
**Job description**:
**Project description**
Using sustainable energy, back-conversion of CO2 to organic materials is a very interesting, but highly challenging concept. The aim is not to regenerate fuels but synthesize essential building blocks for specialty organics like e.g. pharmaceutics, vitamins and advanced polymeric materials. Plasma technology, especially our fast pulse power plasma concept, could provide pathways of lower activation energy than conventional thermal activation. By choosing the right combination of plasma parameters, feedstock recipes and reactor topology, plasma-driven hydrocarbon synthesis from CO2 may be a very attractive, near future concept to secure the availability of advanced organic materials without dependence on fossil sources. The focus of this PhD project will be on the pulsed power development for this process.
For this project the pulsed power development will consist of two phases. In the first phase you will research (together with a PhD student on plasma chemistry) what pulse parameters should be employed for optimal process conditions. For this, you will use our existing solid-state Impedance-Matched Marx generators. Then in the second phase you will develop a new solid-state pulsed power source for high-throughput systems, based on the findings of the first phase. The challenges you will meet along the way are numerous and challenging, such as: developing a new solid-state pulse source, optimizing energy efficiency of the source, studying the interaction between the pulse source and the plasma, countering electromagnetic interference and many more, all the while working in a state-of-the-art high-voltage lab with the newest equipment.
